Night sweats can be a symptom of various things, other than hypersensitivity. I take it you are too young for menopause?
Look up night sweats and see what it CAN mean, and remember certain medications have night sweats as a side effect. Please see your doctor before selling up and moving on would be my advice. Self diagnosis is not a good thing IMV.0 -
I would say check out other possible causes for what is happening to you first and foremost.
But - if you do come to the conclusion that its the masts (and that may or may not be the case...) then ...yep...revisit your housing options one way or another.
But - do try and check out first and foremost whether its down to the masts.
If it is - at that point you Take Action.
Personally - in your position - I think the first thing I would do is check out the roof. My last house was experiencing some temperature problems - that I realised boiled down to part of it being flat roof (rather than "proper roof"). I was able to alleviate that to some extent - if not fully. So that was a help - and also ensured I knew it was down to the house per se (rather than me or nearby phone masts - of which there were an awful lot darn it...).0 -
Ok all good points, will get it checked and rule out other causes. But regardless of outcome I know I'm not going to be happy here now that I've done all this research since moving in and scared myself silly, honestly a quick google search brings up all kinds of horrors, which probably explains why the flat had gone unsold for several months.0

A quick Google search also brings up countless scientific papers stating there is no evidence of harm or that masts caused any symptoms. It also tells you that directly underneath a mast there is virtually zero radiation exposure, in contrast to next to it...0

The mobile masts are not affecting your health. It's all in your head. If you realise this it will go away.
The power level of the signals reaching you will be less than if you used a mobile phone (which is right next to your head). So if you want to move you'd best throw your phone away too.

I'm sorry, you're wrong. Nighttime is when the government takes over the masts to send out signals to reprogramme our brains. We're most susceptible when we're asleep. Living so close to the mast, I'd recommend OP sleeps inside a Faraday cage before she becomes the servant of the lizard people."Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius0 -

Having done some research it seems I'm one of the unlucky 5%of the population that suffers electro magnetic hypersensitivity - if such a thing exists.
You question it yourself, and I don't for a minute believe it exists at all, but even if it does how are you able to put the prevalence at 5%? This WHO report suggests that if there is any truth in it at all then it affects only "a few individuals per million in the population".

If you Google for 'solutions' or 'treatments' for electromagnetic hypersensitivity, you will find plenty of suggestions - including hiring an instrument which will measure the electromagnetic field for you.
One of these 'solutions' may bring you peace of mind, either by solving a very real problem. or by demonstrating to you that the electromagnetic fields in your flat are within the normal range and unlikely to be causing difficulties.
Good luck.e cineribus resurgam("From the ashes I shall arise.")0
